About the
UCM-420A

The  UCM-420A is a low-cost
m i c r o p r o c e s s o r - b a s e d   c o n -
troller that uses industry-stan-
d a r d 4-20 mA or 1-5 VDC
input/output signals to provide
stand-alone P/I control or output
expansion.

When used as a Stand-Alone

Controller with Local Setpoint,
the UCM-420A provides propor-
tional/integral control of VFDs,
valves, actuators, or any device
that accepts a 4-20 mA or 1-5 VDC
signal. Input may be 4-20 mA,
1-5 VDC, or PreCon Type 3
Thermistor
.

When used as a Stand-Alone

Controller with Remote Setpoint
for P/I control, the setpoints
may be adjusted by a 1-5 VDC,
4-20 mA, or pulse-width modu-
lated signal. 

When used as a Remote

Setpoint Controller with Local
Adjustment
, the remote setpoint
can have 100% control, or can
establish a base setpoint with the
local setpoint having a ±12.5%
adjustment. 

When used as an Output

Expander, one AC or DC time-
based PWM signal can control up
to eight groups of UCM-420As
independently. This produces
eight analog outputs from one
PWM controller output. Five
common jumper-selectable time
bases are available.
